Problem:Hello, I am having trouble with this particular app name called “Titanium Backup”. Whenever I try to open it, it will force close within a few seconds. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the app but still the same issue. I really want to be able to use this app very much as I need it to backup all my apps and data. Do you know how to resolve this issue? Btw, I am using Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910G), 6.0.1 Marshmallow, running on Touchwiz Stock ROM. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you.

Solution: If the Titanium Backup app keeps on crashing then try clearing the cache and data of the app from the application manager. If a directory named data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup is present in the microSD card of your phone then you should delete it.

If the problem still occurs then you should get the log of the error then send it to the app developers so that they can pinpoint the exact cause of the problem. You can use the aLogcat app which you can download over at the Google Play Store to capture the error log.

Note 4 Can’t Open Google Play Store

Problem: I cannot open my play store to download any app. i get message unfortunately play store has stopped working.please help me as soon as possible. Your cooperation would be highly appreciated.

Solution: If your Google Play Store app keeps on crashing the first thing that you need to do is clear the cache of the Google Play Services app.

Go to Settings > Apps.

Scroll to All apps and then scroll down to “Google Play Services” app.

Open the app details and tap on the “Force stop” button.

Then, tap on the “Clear cache” button.

You should also try clearing the Google Services Framework cache. This app stores information that helps your phone sync with the Google servers. If the information is corrupt then this problem can occur.

Go to Settings > Apps.

Scroll to All apps and then scroll down to “Google Services Framework” app.

Tap on the “Force stop” button.

Tap on the “Clear cache” button.

Another factor that you should check is the Internet connection that you are using. Try connecting your phone to a different Wi-Fi network then check if the issue still occurs.

If the issue still occurs even after performing the steps listed above then you should consider backing up your phone data then doing a factory reset.

Note 4 Facebook LinkedIn App Keeps Crashing

Thanking you in advanced. Have vision impairment preventing me from reading for long periods so i could try better myself. PLease help!

Solution: Try clearing the cache and data of your apps that crash. This will delete the temporary data stored in the app which could be causing the problem. If your phone has a microSD card installed try removing it as well as this could also be one factor that can cause this problem.

Should the problem persist then try wiping the cache partition of your phone from the recovery mode. If this still fails to fix the problem then you should backup your phone data then do a factory reset.

Note 4 Freezes Works Very Slow

Problem:Hi I have a Note 4, which I have had for 2 years without any problems. Over the last few days it’s started to freeze and work very slow. I also use the fingerprint log in and often when I try to log in I have the message saying that the device has rebooted and I need to enter the backup password. I have follow your suggestions on clear the partition cache, which didn’t work so I reset it and clear the partition again but I am still having problems. These seem more when I sync with my email so I stopped that, which seemed to make a small difference but it’s started freezing again so I once again cleared the partition – to make sure but it still happens. I have also changed the battery and tried using the phone without the SD card in it, but again this didn’t make any difference. Is there anything else I can try – I have just gone on to a SIM only contract and cannot afford another phone or higher contract.

Solution: Since you already performed most of the troubleshooting steps required for this particular issue without any success then this could already be a hardware related problem possibly caused by a faulty internal component. If this is the case then I suggest that you bring your phone to a service center and have it checked.

Note 4 Randomly Opens Recent Apps Window

Problem:My Note 4 is having an issue where when using an App or any other feature it will at random open the “Recent Apps” window and then close it and then open it again and then close it again and then it will go into the main menu window where it asks you to set up widgets and other apps and then back to recent apps again… and then it gets worse if it is charging at the same time. Also when I try to download on my phone like a gif or document from online it keeps trying to “ask” me to open the file from my google drive area and not downloading to the device itself.

Solution: Do you have a screen protector installed in your phone?This might be activating the recent apps capacitive key of your phone. If your phone has a screen protector then try uninstalling it.

Is your phone running on an updated stock software? If it isn’t, make sure to check for updates first. You should also use the default phone launcher when checking if the issue still occurs.

One last troubleshooting step you should consider is a factory reset. Just make sure to backup your phone data before doing this.

If the issue still occurs even after performing the steps listed above then you should bring your phone to a service center and have it checked as this could be caused by a problem with the capacitive keys.
